So You Got Your Guns, Yet You Can't Pay Your Mortgage, What Then?

avatar

When will Americans wake up from the illusion of the GOP Wizards? Republicans are terrible on Economics and they are terrible on National Security and they have been terrible stewards of the Earth. They have Led us into a Fake & Phony war and have yet to fully implement the recommendations of the 911 Commission to keep this country safe and secure. That is not being Strong on National Security!  Ground Zero is still a Dark Hole and an open Wound and a symbol of Republican failed polices!  We are in an Economic meltdown and Enough is ENOUGH!  Let’s expose the myth, deception and lies of the Wizards—GOP (Grand Opposition Party)! Let’s get off the Yellow Brick Road of lies and deception and realize that the power lies within the people to so produce a working government for the people not a government hiding behind a Curtain of corporate greed and special interest groups! They have failed the American people and they have failed themselves. There is no lasting prosperity for thieves and liars and the wrong one does will eventually come back to be reckoned with. This is their reckoning. Even Alan Greenspan has said Americans cannot afford the $3.3 trillion dollar tax cuts proposed by Senator McCain which is not surprising since McCain has admitted knowing nothing about the Economy and told Detroit auto workers their jobs would not be coming back.  He cannot even envision a future of 21st Century cars run on solar or another greener more cleaner alternative fuel?  Yikes!  That is not Change we can believe in!

Now the Grand Wizard, McCain, who is 72 years old has allegedly put his Country First and nominated for V.P. someone totally lacking in national and foreign policy experience, who would be a heart beat away. Woodward in his recent book “The War Within” states that the two sleeping giants when someone takes the oval office come January 2009 will be Iraq and Afghanistan, something Bob Woodward says Bush was disconnected from. Can you imagine that, a President so disconnected from a war he asked Americans to die for?  Sadly, there will also be another Giant to face—that of the economy. Brokaw said to Sen. Schumer on Meet the Press Sunday past—I thought when one picks a V.P. pick that they pick the most qualified candidate, referring to Obama not picking Clinton and choosing Biden instead. This goes both ways and McCain did not pick the most qualified person in fact he picked the least.  A president will have the Weight of the World on his or her shoulders.  Unfortunately for this Country McCain has made a very bad judgment call and a terrible risk. May be he did not use his good judgment in this pick but something less honorable. Barack and Biden are ready to lead and to take up that weight. I do not think McCain and Palin are ready for such a daunting task. We need true leadership and not a false and deceptive wizard giving lip service to lies and deceit instead of truth and light. If we pull the Curtain back from our eyes, we will see he has no Power and McCain the Grand Wizard, is not the person he says he is!

And lastly, all those who fear if they pick Obama/Biden will have to give up their guns is a false/negative.  What does having a gun and hunting mean, if their are no jobs to go to?  If gas at the pump is $7.00 a gallon?  What does it matter if food is sky high and one is unable to prepare even the most basic meals.  What does it matter if you get sick and you have no health care—unable to afford a doctor or even medicine?  What does it matter if you have your Gun but yet cannot afford the mortgage payments on your home?  What does it matter if through a war mentality World War III breaks out and possible nuclear annihilation?  Will your guns matter then?  We must deal with real issues and not superficial things that will not matter to us in the end when we wished we had of chose wisely instead of through fear, beguilement and deceipt!
